training the boy to bust them rats

It boggles the European mind that inculcation into "gun culture" starts early in America. Kids as young as ten or eleven (or even younger) start learning to shoot. It should be noted that most fathers who teach their kids to use guns do so responsibly; those kids (and those fathers) aren't the ones who routinely make the news. The idiots who make the news tend to be fatherless gang members who learned their idiocy from their equally idiotic peers, and as long as such idiots exist, there will always be a need for saner people to learn responsible gun ownership as a matter of self-defense.

Simply confiscating all guns is no solution: as we see in China and Japan (and occasionally Korea), the murderous impulse isn't curbed by a lack of guns: there's plenty of knife crime in East Asia. "Oh, but guns can kill so many people so much faster than knives!" say the gun-control morons. This is largely because the law, especially in blue states, mandates that people cannot carry weapons when they're in dangerous places despite a clear Second Amendment right to do so. "Gun-free zones" in school areas are catnip for school shooters, who are usually cowards gambling on the fact there won't be adequate security. But in case after case, when citizens are armed and trained in proper gun use, it's the civilians who usually end up putting the criminals down before the police arrive. As the sad proverb goes: When seconds count, the police are minutes away. Never let anyone tell you that you need to rely on the authorities. If you're in a state/country with a clear right to carry, then be ready to save yourself and others when the situation calls for it.

But if, like me, you live in South Korea, where there's no Second Amendment, you'll have to find other solutions than just guns. Otherwise, you're fucked.

Now prepare to be boggled as a boy kills rats.
